We'll Understand It Better By and By

Key of G · 84 BPM · 4/4 · Hope,Comfort · 1 Corinthians 13:12

Verse 1

We are tossed and driven on the restless sea of time,
somber skies and howling tempests oft succeed a bright sunshine;
in that land of perfect day, when the mists have rolled away,
we will understand it better by and by.

Chorus

By and by, when the morning comes, when the saints of God are gathered home,
we'll tell the story how we've overcome, for we'll understand it better by and by.
